Years ago it used to be "Cooking the books", 1 set for consumption & another to hide assets, now... The Panama Papers - The biggest data leak ever ... ain't technology grand :-) Surprisingly, the strongest connection is the UK and 5 years after making this statement... The prime minister set out his line in 2011 when he said: “We need to shine a spotlight on who owns what and where the money is really flowing.†...which only continues to show the country his ineptness. |

https://panamapapers.icij.org/the_power_players/ Files reveal the offshore holdings of 140 politicians and public officials from around the world. Many of these politicians are elected to counter tax evasion. Or at least I thought that. Although these people do just the opposite. It's not a crime but yet it's tax evasion. Just got my papers from "IRS" last week to declare my income and assets:( Anybody who knows some loopholes? I forgot. Iceland's Prime Minister, Sigmundur DavÃð Gunnlaugsson:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx7c8huezqY |

Now it's beginning to turn hilarious... Leaks spur global investigations ...they've known about this for years, so the laugh is on us, the poor blooming taxpayers. |

To think some one would hide money in their own name. Serves them right to get caught so easily after having five months warning in the press. Still it might be fun to see how this one wrings out. edit: Where is Dudley Do-right when you need him... |

Iceland is a small country. Only about 330,000 citizens. Yesterday more than 20,000 tax payers in Iceland was protesting in Reykjavik. As a comparision it would be like 20 million tax payers in the US doing the same in DC. |

It would seem to me that we are in for a rash of car upsets, ship sinking's, untimely heart attacks and other such unexpected departures of certain personages in the world of business. The revelations of the scope of the current con will cause disruptions across the world. We had hoped that we would not see this in our lifetimes. edit: Living in interesting times really can be troublesome.... |

Very effective :-) He's gone. Yes. The first "victim" from the leaks. Well now he can at least comfort himself with some icecream. Reykjavik's famous ice cream parlor Ãsbúðin ValdÃs has responded to the controversy with an ice cream flavor called "Panama offshore". The new dessert is touted as a mixture of lemon sorbet and vanilla ice. The sweet course has been aptly named Wintris after Gunnlaugsson's offshore company and is described as "sour, with a tinge of arrogance" as well as "tax deductible". |

Love it. :-) Now the banks need to get hit hard, especially after their cockups in 2007/08. Major banks deny claims An internal email from Mossack Fonseca's compliance department also suggests HSBC staff dealing with Drex Technologies knew who Rami Makhlouf was. ROFLMAO Ain't technology grand. |
